365: Chapter 365: Life Has Lost Its Pursuit 365: Chapter 365: Life Has Lost Its Pursuit “Yuan Huai?” Xiang Yu lifted a glass of alcohol and downed it in one gulp before looking at the drunkard with a smile.

“Who are you really?” Yuan Huai didn’t answer Xiang Yu’s question but looked at him with a wariness.

“The top figure in Cheetah Squad, called a devil, 181 centimeters tall, adept at stealth and assassination, likes to play with knives.

Three years ago, because of a mission, your teammates sacrificed themselves, and you disappeared along with them,” Xiang Yu said before looking at Yuan Huai with a nonchalant air.

Yuan Huai swiftly stood up, then looked around.

After confirming that no one was paying attention to him, he sat down opposite Xiang Yu.

Now his eyes shone brightly, nothing like his previous drunken demeanor.

“How do you know my information?” Yuan Huai asked seriously.

“You don’t need to worry about how I know.

I just want to know how a team leader like you ended up like this?” Xiang Yu asked with curiosity.

“Humph!

Since you know so much about me, don’t tell me you’re unaware of the reasons I fled from the military?” Yuan Huai looked at Xiang Yu with a mocking gaze.

Xiang Yu shook his head blankly.

Three years ago, he had just returned from a mission when he received another one.

The team leader of Cheetah Squad hadn’t completed the mission and had become a deserter.

The order Xiang Yu received was to find him as fast as possible and bring him back.

At that time, Xiang Yu had learned a bit about Yuan Huai’s background.

He was born in the countryside and had grown from an ordinary soldier to a capable Special Forces squad leader.

This process must have involved many life-and-death situations and tribulations, and for some reason, he suddenly became a deserter.

The mission’s failure wasn’t an issue, as long as one returned alive, but he ran away abruptly, becoming a wanted deserter.

And as such, his crime was grave.

Xiang Yu set off immediately after receiving the mission.

He had already grasped specific information about Yuan Huai and had spotted him on the evening of that day.

However, Yuan Huai was highly alert and managed to flee quickly once Xiang Yu found him.

Xiang Yu only saw his figure from the back.

He could have shot him down with a single bullet, but at that moment, his mind was somewhat distracted, and in that split second of inattention, Yuan Huai escaped.

Unexpectedly, three years later, Xiang Yu would encounter him here.

By then, he had become a down-and-out street drunk, perhaps to disguise his identity or maybe having lost all ambition.

For three years, this question had lingered in Xiang Yu’s mind: why had he run away?

They were all from the Special Forces, his own teammates had died on missions, creating a sense of shared fate.

Perhaps that was why Xiang Yu had spared him back then.

Having seen him today, there was naturally no reason to let him go.

Yuan Huai wasn’t a simple character but an elite within the military, with very high comprehensive qualities.

It would be dangerous to allow such a person to roam free in society.

“What was it for, why didn’t you go back?” Xiang Yu pressed on.

“Why didn’t I go back?” Yuan Huai sneered, “Because I didn’t want to stay there anymore, what’s there to talk about?” At that moment, Yuan Huai picked up a bottle of alcohol from the table and began to drink.

Watching Yuan Huai drink was like watching someone with a death wish; he swallowed half a bottle in one go and then lay there with an indifferent smile.

His eyes began to grow vacant, as if he had no more attachment to this world, and the only meaning in life was to drink.

Xiang Yu knew there had to be many reasons that Yuan Huai couldn’t speak of; he didn’t trust him.

Of course, given Xiang Yu’s current identity, it was only natural for the other party not to trust him.

“Come with me, at least it’s better than hanging around in places like this every day,” Xiang Yu invited.

“You?

Is there alcohol to drink if I come with you?” Yuan Huai asked indifferently.

“Of course,” Xiang Yu replied with a smile.

“What’s your relationship with that guy called Long Wu?” When it came to Long Wu, Yuan Huai’s eyes suddenly lit up, as if he was overly fascinated by Long Wu.

“Don’t even think about laying a finger on her, or I’ll gouge out your eyes,” Xiang Yu said indifferently, but Yuan Huai didn’t think he was joking.

In fact, Yuan Huai was also curious about Xiang Yu.

He saw that Xiang Yu had the air of a carefree rogue, so how could he know so much about him?

His own information should be highly confidential.

Could it be that he was like him…?

“What do you do, and why should I hang out with you?” Yuan Huai asked lazily, lying there with a bottle of liquor in his hand.

“I’m in the underworld,” responded Xiang Yu unhesitatingly.

Yuan Huai actually didn’t care what Xiang Yu did.

It seemed like his life had already lost all meaning.

Now that he had met Long Wu, his life had finally gained some color.

“Fine, but let’s get one thing straight, I’m not helping you kill anyone,” Yuan Huai declared, then threw the empty bottle aside and picked up another from the table while lying on the couch.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to meet our headquarters,” Xiang Yu said and then called out to Tie Zhuzi, who finally came running over.

“Help him up; we’re going back,” Xiang Yu ordered.

Tie Zhuzi was stunned for a moment, wondering if it was a joke to expect him to help this drunk.

“What are you looking at?

Hurry up and help me,” Yuan Huai commanded.

Although his alcohol tolerance wasn’t high, and he got drunk easily, he just liked to numb himself with alcohol.

“Fuck off,” Tie Zhuzi cursed under his breath when he saw Xiang Yu had walked away and kicked Yuan Huai before following Xiang Yu, paying him no mind.

Yuan Huai hadn’t expected the big oaf to actually give him a kick, but he didn’t care and staggered to his feet to follow Xiang Yu, not forgetting to carry a bottle of liquor in his hand.

Xiang Yu was the first to get into the car.

Seeing Tie Zhuzi come out alone, not helping Yuan Huai, he just shook his head and smiled.

“Brother Yu, it seems like someone is watching us,” Tie Zhuzi suddenly said.

Xiang Yu nodded calmly and replied, “It’s fine, let them follow.”

Xiang Yu had long noticed that someone was watching him, but these people posed no threat to him.

It must have been Miao Honglei who had sent people to tail him.

This person loved talented individuals, yet he was cautious against others growing strong while demanding absolute loyalty from his subordinates.

This man was very scheming and cautious.

At this time, Yuan Huai, holding a bottle of liquor, staggered out.

He looked around and, upon seeing Xiang Yu’s car, walked over.

“Brother Yu, are we really going to let him hang around with us?” Tie Zhuzi asked incredulously.

Xiang Yu just smiled, which was taken as a confirmation.

Yuan Huai got into the front passenger seat and immediately started drinking.

Tie Zhuzi abruptly accelerated, and Yuan Huai, caught off guard, spilled his drink all over himself.

He didn’t mind and continued to drink.

Reaching the state of mind that Yuan Huai had achieved was quite something.

He seemed utterly indifferent to anything happening outside, as long as it didn’t threaten his life, nothing else mattered to him.

Tie Zhuzi was furious seeing him like this, wishing he could kick him out of the car.

He couldn’t understand what Xiang Yu was thinking, bringing this guy to the hotel—surely he didn’t plan to keep him around.

If that were the case, Tie Zhuzi was certain he would find a time when no one was around and throw him out the window…
